Great New Desktop Themes for Windows 7

Back when Windows 7 was still in beta, I offered up a set of Windows 7 themes around such topics as Paris, Washington D.C., and coffee, and I wrote a Feature Focus article about this technology. I've gotten some requests recently to re-post those themes, and I may do so in the near future. But this got me talking with a photographer friend recently, and I figured some of her pictures would make for great Windows desktop backgrounds, and great themes.

Her name is Kerry Hawkins. She's a prolific photographer and artist, and blogger. You can buy her work online, or follow her on Twitter as well.

UPDATE: The download links aren't working for some reason. I'll add DropBox and WL SkyDrive links in a moment. Hold, please.

She's provided me with pictures for three themes: Amusements, Flowers, and Ocean:

kh_amusements_0
Download Kerry Hawkins - Amusements: DropBox | Windows Live SkyDrive

kh_flowers_0
Download Kerry Hawkins - Flowers: DropBox | Windows Live SkyDrive

kh_ocean_0
Download Kerry Hawkins - Ocean: DropBox | Windows Live SkyDrive

Definitely give them a look. And I'll try to convince her to let me post some more in the near future. :)

I gave all three of them a go but you've basically triggered my inner OCD and I think I took this desktop customization thing to the extreme. ended up with this http://ratemydesktop.org/pm/42Y0/my_desktop_theme_for_windows_7.html
